Features & Functions
| Face | Feature | Description |
|---|---|---|
| (Default) | Identify | This function is available when no tool button is selected. If another button is selected, deselecting it enables "Identify." Click on the cell or point you want to get the information for. The popup window will come out, showing #observations in the cell or detailed observation information. Be patient as it may take the results several seconds to show. |
 |
Full extent |
Click the button to zoom to the full extent of the species observations. |
 |
Zoom in |
To zoom in, you need to define a rectangle on the map where you want to zoom in. First click on the map to locate one of the two diagonal vertices of the rectangle. Release the mouse button and move the mouse to the other diagonal point. The red guiding line appears. Then click again to fix the rectangle. |
 |
Draw region of interest |
A region of interest (ROI) takes a rectangular shape. First click on the map to locate one of the two diagonal vertices of the
rectangle. Release the mouse button and move the mouse to the
other diagonal point. The red guiding line appears. Then click again to fix the rectangle. The map is updated automatically, extracting observations in the ROI drawn. |
 |
Remove ROI |
To remove the region of interest (ROI), click the button and click on the ROI you want to remove. The map is updated automatically. |
 |
Transparency | Slide the bar to left (more opaque) or right (more transparent) to adjust the transparency of the region of interest. |

Hide/show map |
Click buttons to hide/show the map. Hiding map makes the dataset list area taller so you can see more datasets at once. |
 |
Show/hide graph area |
Click the button (pale yellow background) to show and hide the graph area. The graph area may close automatically depending on your criteria. |
 |
Add environmental layer |
Add environmental layer to the map. The button opens a popup window where you can choose one of the environmental layers. See [Environment] tab for layers' availability. The environmental layer is sync'ed with the time range set with the chart. See the tutorial movie for more detail. |
 |
Explore with Google Earth |
Explore the dataset through Google Earth interface. Install Google Earth before using this feature. Google Earth on Windows and Mac are supported. |
 |
Switch to point observations |
Click the button to switch to point observations. Points are color-coded by species. See the left-hand-side species list for colors. |
  |
Map size |
Change the map size, small or large. The small map has the fixed width and height, suitable for a small screen. The large map fills the browser window. If you change the browser window size after choosing the large map, click the button again to adjust the map size. |
